INSTRUCTIONS:


Sowing

Growing Transplant seedlings individually to small pots or cells until large enough to plant outdoors. Plant 30cm apart in well prepared soil in full sun, once frost risk has passed. Can also be grown in a pot indoors. Height to 45cm.

 

Harvesting Indoors for much of the year. Outdoors from June until frosts.
